NZXT Hades Black PC Gaming Case Review

The NZXT Hades

NZXT is progressively becoming one of the more well-known case manufacturers, and with over 20 cases in their lineup it is easy to see why. Today we have one of the mid tower cases in their “Crafted” series, the Hades. The NZXT Hades is a 9-bay mid tower with a mesh front door and plenty of high-CFM fans in addition to its long list of features, which we’ll dive right into.

Looking at the box you can see the product picture next to a close-up of the front red LED fan, with a futuristic skyline background; these are aesthetics that can easily catch anyone’s eye.

On the back of the box you can see the aforementioned features list with two more product pictures; note the quarter-sized hole at the top which indicates it had a fun time in shipping. Let’s take a peek inside and see if anything got harmed.

Looking good — the hole was just above the front of the case the way it was shipped.

The bundle found inside the case offered three small pieces of heat-resistant tape for the thermal sensors, a 4 to 3 pin fan adapter, a four pin speaker, thumb screws and plenty of miscellaneous screws and standoffs. NZXT also generously included several small zip ties for any wire management needs, and 3.5″ to 5.25″ drive adapters with rubber spacers to keep up to four hard drives running quietly.
